In a fast moving world of AI, self driving taxis and robots, I love that my favourite cafe in San Francisco hasn’t changed since I was a regular when I lived here 20 years ago. Literally same menu, same pastries, same guy behind the counter. Great to be back! #sanfrancisco #caffetrieste

Fantastic work and gifts from @marcoroth.dev! Within the first 2 minutes of trying this, I can't imagine not having this rich set of tools for developing erb views, and it's only the first version! Thanks Marco for all you do and are doing 🎉

Arrive in Amsterdam for #railsworld. Super cool hotel is a great start. This is a view from my window. Dylan on the turntable. Love it! Off out to find some lunch. Looking forward to see so many #rubyfriends and great talks. #ruby #rails

I never met Ozzy, but always seemed like a great bloke from afar.
I did see him play from side of stage when I was working on the Warped Tour and it somewhat absurdly linked up with OzzFest in 1998 in a field in Wisconsin. It was dubbed "Skating meets Satan" as I recall!
RIP Ozzy. Brummie Icon 🤘

Love to see this @inazarova.bsky.social. So great what you're building. And 19 years after the first SF Ruby I attended at the Twitter office (when they were still called Odeo)! Ruby still going strong. Hope to get back some time. #ruby #rubyfriends

While in #Japan for #rubykaigi I took the opportunity to explore 3 more of the 12 original castles. All these are on #shikoku, and all a long way up!
1. Matsuyama
2. Uwajima

Dramatic entrance from @matz.bsky.social as he rose up from a trap door on the stage lift before his keynote! Building on the theme he talked about at EuRuKo the focus was a Programming Language for the AI Age #rubykaigi #minaswan

This was a fantastically detailed talk by @coe401.bsky.social at #rubykaigi about the race to get Happy Eyeballs implemented in TCPSocket .new just in time for Ruby 3.4! Shoutout to the live translator too. That was an action packed, fast paced performance! #ruby #happyeyeballs #translator

Another great #rubykaigi talk, this time from @tenderlove.dev showing how his work on Ruby 3.5 should make Class#new at minimum 1.4x faster. And yes, we are excited! #ruby

24hr+ journey to #rubykaigi in #matsuyama - Bus 2hrs, Flight 14hrs, Shinkansen 4hrs, Shiokaze 4hrs - but all so worth it!
Still only day 1 afternoon and already had dinner with @matz.bsky.social and other rubyists, met countless #rubyfriends and seen some stellar talks! #ruby

With one more run planned in 2024 I wondered how far I’d done this year. Turns out it’s just over 500 miles! Didn’t set a goal but this feels like a good accomplishment! 🎉 #running #fitness #theproclaimers

Throwback to Christmas 1983 where it all started for me with the ZX Spectrum. Visiting my cousin and dug this out of the attic! Defender in ~30 lines of code 🔥 #sinclair #zxspectrum #BASIC

Today marks 22 years since the untimely passing of #joestrummer. I was lucky to work with Joe at the Sun Theatre in Anaheim, CA in 1999. Flyer from that show in the pic here. He arrived with Rudy - a friend of mine - who introduced me as “the Specials sound guy”. Went well from that point! #rip

Some incredible new #rails resources coming from the Rails Foundation in the next few days. Look out for the amazing new official “Getting Started Tutorial” from @excid3.com and the fantastic “Rails 8 Unpacked” series of 9 videos from the inimitable @typecraft.dev. #ruby #rubyonrails

I happened to be there to catch Steve play that day too! So great. Seen him numerous times but the best was solo last year closer to home in Bristol (second pic). Absolute legend
